Zenserp pagination: use the start param for page 2, not a new query

TL;DR

Set num as high as you need (up to 100), then walk start in offsets and stop when the organic list comes back empty. Log every page request with its start value so a rerun resumes where it stopped instead of re-billing page one. Do not re-run the whole query to get page two.

Fix

1. Set num as high as you need (up to 100), then walk start in offsets and stop when the organic list comes back empty. Expected: You get the expected result; the problem is gone.

2. Log every page request with its start value so a rerun resumes where it stopped instead of re-billing page one. Expected: You see the expected output instead of the problem.

Why it happens

Web writeup (SitePoint, Zenserp parsing guide): walks through real Zenserp usage including pagination. When a query returns many results, pass the start parameter to move through pages (their example fetches the next page with a start offset), and each page is a billed request, so page deliberately. The same guide covers local search with location plus hl, gl, searchengine, googledomain, and tbm parameters, and has a section on error handling and rate limiting.

Edge cases

• If your error message differs even slightly, this is probably a different issue; search the exact text.
• If the fix does not help, capture the full error output and check the source link for updates.
